what is the purpose of limiting esata transfer speed?
i found a setting in the bios for setting max transfer speed for esata. why would i have it set to anything but the highest setting?

maybe if a sata 1-2 drive does not show up on sata3 controller

sata 2-3 drives are compatible, but need a jumper to work at sata1 speeds for older controllers

also if using a long e-sata cable, it may not work at higher speeds
limiting to sata1-2 are lower freq and will work at longer distances
